Cross-Border Case: French Couple Arrested After Abandoned Boys Found in Portugal
Portuguese authorities arrested a French national, Marine Rousseau, and a 55-year-old man after two young boys were found abandoned near a road in Alcácer do Sal. The suspects face charges of domestic violence and exposure/abandonment; the children were found safe and placed in foster care. France is coordinating with Portugal on the kids’ future, with return potentially handled by French authorities through formal processes. The investigation is ongoing.
